Honestly, Angaga is one of the best resorts I've stayed in the Maldives so far! It is not a fancy luxury property but provides all the amenities you need for a relaxing vacation.
We booked this resort last minute so we did not have time for deep research, but we were not disappointed at all. The main reason to come to Angaga was the house reef; we read mixed reviews about it but I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. The reef is recovering well, you can see newly grown corals everywhere and lots of sea life: we have seen nurse sharks, black tips sharks, white tips sharks, turtles and groups of eagle rays every day beside the common fish species.
We stayed in one of the sunrise-side beach houses (nr 107) which was just perfect for us since the house was right in front of villa. The house was clean and comfortable with an outside seating area and swing. There were some ants in the bathroom when it was raining at night, but it is normal in the tropics and ants spray was provided. The water villas looked a bit outdated, but the ones on the sunset side are currently under renovation and will be completely renewed by the end of the year.
The staff is accommodating without being pushy or disturbing you in any way. Special thanks to the guys at the reception who are always there to assist in case you have any questions or need help, to the chefs at the restaurant who prepare amazing food day by day and to the guys in the bar (especially to Zafran) who serve delicious cocktails in minutes! We'll be back!
the island itself is very nice, but the barrier reef is a bit poor, many corals are dead due to el nino. still quite an amount of fish but not super colored. we staied in the water villa, very nice and clean. about the beach bungalows there are some on the east part of the island where the beach is wider but not so easy the entrance in the water. in this part the sun goes down early. the west part has a norrower beach but with a nicer lagoon. good food. not very exciteed of the diving center, not very flexible.
